Reader's POV

Joker sat in his office working on plans to attack Gotham, while I sat in a beanbag chair next to him playing with a rubix cube, determined to finish it. Finally I solved the puzzle and I screamed, while jumping up with excitement. I looked over at a startled Joker... Hand on his chest, eyes wide,

"Oops! Sorry babe..."

He sighed and chuckled at my childish actions. He reached and grabbed my wrist from over his desk and led me around his desk. He sat me on his lap and stroked my cheek, moving my hair out of my face,

"What? Why do you always look at me like that?"

"I'm just glad to call you mine, my dear."

I smiled and looked over at the plans on his desk,

"What are we doing today? Robbing a bank? Sounds fun!"

"What do you mean 'we'?"

I turned to him frowning,

"I'm not coming?"

"I don't want you getting hurt."

I stood up and quickly turned to look at him,

"Joker, I haven't been outside the house since you got me from my own apartment! The world could be coming to an end for all I know! There could be more than one bat now! Come on babe, lemme come? Please?"

Joker's POV

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. I looked at (Y/n), her arms were crossed, an angry frown on her face... Aside from that, I smiled at the sight of her... I sighed once more and gave up,

"Fine, you can come."

She jumped up cheering, ran up to me, and hugged me,

"Thank yoou!"

I laughed and hugged her back. She must have felt like Rapunzel and thought of me as Gothel... She's trapped inside, not allowed to go out, and doesn't know what the outside world looks like. Although, she has been outside... Like... 3 months ago... Shit... I never kept track of time. I will now definitely let her come now. The Riddler barged in which made (Y/n) and I jump. She then grabbed my arm still remembering the incident, and I just yelled at the riddler,

"WHAT!?"

"Joker, we should go now... It's going to rain hard later, and there's going to be a thunder storm."

"HAHA!! Perfect! What time will that start?"

"Soon..."

"Then we'll go soon."

The Riddler looked at (Y/n) and grinned, which caused me to frown. I pulled a gun out and pointed it at the Green Lantern wannabe,

"Are you done, Riddler?"

"Yeah, but one more thing... Who's staying behind? Me and (Y/n) again?"

"No actually, this time I've decided to take her..."

The Riddler looked pissed off which made me start laughing, which I could tell startled (Y/n). When I stopped laughing I smiled at the Riddler,

"Why so serious?"

He stared me in the eye, thunder struck and lightning flashed through the window behind me. I saw fear in Riddler's eyes but he tried not to show it. I just simply said,

"I think that's our cue to leave, don't you think sir?"

"Yeah... It is."

Reader's POV

I could sense the tension between the Joker and the Riddler. It was kind of awkward being caught in the middle of a Giant Human Bat, a Psychotic Clown, and a Deranged Riddler. My life just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
The joker took my hand and we left the room to gear up for the mission. In the van, I sat in the back with the joker and looked through the choices in masks I had, and saw a batman one. I started laughing and put it on,

"JOKER, PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN!!!"

Joker turned around and started laughing hysterically, and shot his hands in the air,

"OH NO THE BATMAN HAS COME TO TAKE ME BACK TO ARKHAM!!! WHAT EVER SHALL I DO!?!?"

Joker and I started dying of laughter. I didn't know whether to tell him who Batman was under the mask. If he knew that I knew, he'd probably throw me aside like Harley... I sighed, and right when I was going to say something about it, I heard a thud in the front seat,

"What was that?"

The joker shrugged. I got outta my seat and looked at the front of the van to see the two guys attempting to fight off batman. I closed the mini window and sat back down, which caused the joker to give a "What's happening?" face... Which I pointed at my mask and flapped my hands like bat wings. The joker seemed to have gotten it, but before he was about to do something about it, the van came to a rough stop. He grabbed me and hid me in a secret compartment. I tried to make him let me out but he refused.

Batman's POV

When I busted open the back of the van, I found the Joker with his hands up. He started laughing as I punched him and threw him to the ground as the police came,

"Batman, you got him!"

"Yeah, and make sure I won't have to again."

They handcuffed him and brought him in the police car. He just smiled and winked at me. Something wasn't right... Plus I could have sworn there was someone in the back of the van with him. As the police car headed off to Arkham, I looked in the back of the van and saw that a secret compartment was opened, and several bags of money were missing. I walked back over to the batmobile and hopped in. Once I did, I felt a gun press against the side of my head,

"Take me to the fucking bat cave."

I turned to see a girl that looked like harley, but wore black and white. She pressed the gun under my chin and said again,

"You're gonna take to the fucking Batcave, give me weapons, and you're going to help me break The Joker out.. GOT IT!?"

I then recognized her,

"(Y/n)...?"

"Shut up! DRIVE BATS!!"

I started the engine and drove off, doing as she asked. What shit has she gotten into now?
